Multi Sports
During P.E a few of the class arranged a game of multisport. This session was run by the students and I was really impressed with the respect shown.

Whanau get together
Fancy a quick game of Kahoot anyone. The team had an impromptu gathering where students were placed in mixed, across classes, teams to challenge each other to a Kahoot quiz. This was alot of fun and the students were all engaged. Definitely worth a repeat challenge.
Pink Shirt Day
Last week Pink shirt Day was celebrated in our school. This day is a chance for us to all take notice of the bullying that happens in all walks of life and stand up and say that it's not O.K. Most of the class wore pink and here is a snap of just a few of them.
Post Flood
Well the big wet of April that hit Rotorua also impacted 4 classrooms at R.I.S, Culinary Arts, Hauora, Te Roro o te Rangi 5, and our class Hurangaterangi 5. Initially this just meant early morning mopping and sorting out soggy resources prior to class starting for the term. Soaking carpet on left with water across to wall. Just inside front door. Water mark left showing depth of water. The art storage room and office were all affected as was each corner of the room, who knew that the concrete floor bowed in the middle, great for drainage. Since then builders and assessors have been in and as of Monday 3pm, 7th May, we had to move to alternate teaching spaces after packing up every square cm of our class. And I mean every square cm...art storage room now... The skirting boards have been removed and the wall framing checked for moisture content. Shelving
P.E Beep Test

Peer Support
This week the class had a chance to tackle the obstacle course on the field during their P.E. session. This course is easy for some, pushes others really out of their comfort zones and for others, they have to face fears such as a fear of heights. The hope is always that the class will all experience success and often this means that students really have to collectively support their classmates. This year was no exception and yet again, H5 shone displaying kindness and empathy to others. You are amazing H5!
